A Second Talent Leaves As Another Questions The Overwatch League

This is not the best week for the Overwatch League, as yet another personality has announced their departure, while another talent questions the direction. First off, Chris Puckett, who served as the primary host for the League's broadcasts, announced today on Twitter that he is no longer employed by the League. He let fans know that his wife had earned a promotion, and due to his contract being up, he was moving back to NYC to support her. He'll be doing freelance work and hosting other events in 2020.

Meanwhile, broadcaster Erik "DoA" Lonnquist (seen above) took to his own Twitter feed to express his concerns over the League. His contract, if you haven't guessed, is also up and he is currently not employed by Blizzard. As he contemplates whether he wishes to return or not, he too expressed his concerns over how the League is currently being run.

Season Three is going to be interesting to see how things end up on the broadcast side of things. Along with Christopher "MonteCristo" Mykles, that makes three people who have allowed their contract to expire rather than sign back up. Which means we can only assume more are either on the way, or we'll start hearing about those who chose to resign. Hopefully, after the new year settles, the Overwatch League will actually comment on what's been going on.
